Chapter 984: Little Meatball’s Discovery
“What’s wrong, Little Meatball? Are you hungry again?” Ling Chuxi grabbed the velvety body of the Gla.s.s Gold Beast, but she couldn’t tell which was the neck and which was the b.u.t.t. They all looked the same, chubby and fluffy—it felt good to touch.
“Chirp…” The Gla.s.s Gold Beast suddenly broke away from Ling Chuxi’s grip and ran out happily. In the blink of an eye, there was only a golden shadow in front of her.
“It seems to have found something?” said Huangfu Qingjue as he grabbed Ling Chuxi’s hand and chased after it.
“Found something?” Ling Chuxi’s heart skipped a beat. The Gla.s.s Gold Beast ate metal, especially adamantine and mithril. Seeing how excited it was, she wondered if it had found adamantine, mithril, or meteorites from outer s.p.a.ce. Ling Chuxi also grew excited.
The Gla.s.s Gold Beast was extremely fast. If Huangfu Qingjue hadn’t pulled her along, Ling Chuxi wouldn’t have been able to catch up with it.
However, every time the little guy ran, it would slow down slightly before chirping at Ling Chuxi a few times, as if it was afraid that Ling Chuxi would get lost.
Ling Chuxi knew that it wasn’t because it was reluctant to part with her, but because it was reluctant to part with the strange insignia in her pocket, and the rabbit meat that she roasted. However, up until now, Ling Chuxi still did not understand what was so strange about the insignia. She only knew that the little guy was closer to it than its own mother. It hugged, kissed and even went to bed with it held tightly in its grips.
The two of them and the beast rushed forward quickly. The surrounding Spiritual Qi became weaker and weaker, and they unknowingly left the valley. This valley was Celestial Sect’s cultivation treasure ground, and there was a barrier placed around it. However, such a thing didn’t hinder Huangfu Qingjue at all. What surprised Ling Chuxi was that the Gla.s.s Gold Beast easily pa.s.sed through the barrier as if it didn’t exist at all.
It turned out that the Gla.s.s Gold Beast had such a magical ability. Ling Chuxi made a mental note of this in case it might come in handy one day in the future.
“There’s someone ahead.” Huangfu Qingjue suddenly let go of Ling Chuxi’s hand. He lightly stepped forward and grabbed Little Meatball, who was running happily.
The little guy’s golden ball-like body twisted around. It turned its head and shouted at Huangfu Qingjue in dissatisfaction, but when it met Huangfu Qingjue’s gaze, it shut its mouth. Of course, Ling Chuxi couldn’t see any of this from where she stood but she could guess based on how the little beast was behaving.
“Sir, it’s here. It must be here.” An excited voice came from the front.
“Shh, be quiet. This is the territory of Celestial Sect. You’ve all experienced how powerful Duan Qingchen is. If you don’t want to die, you’d better be careful.” Someone reprimanded in a low voice.
Gongxi Kuangdao! Ling Chuxi immediately recognized his voice. She didn’t expect that he would come to the Celestial Sect after his plan to sneak into Flowing Clouds Sect was ruined.
Ling Chuxi and Huangfu Qingjue slowed down their footsteps and followed. From afar, they saw Gongxi Kuangdao and the others sneakily walking forward. Gongxi Kuangdao was holding a disc in his hand. It looked like a compa.s.s and was engraved with scales. However, both the shape and the scales were very rough. It should have only been made a few days ago.
At this moment, the scales on the compa.s.s were s.h.i.+ning with starlight. As they walked, the starlight would s.h.i.+ne differently in strength. Gongxi Kuangdao adjusted the direction according to the strength of the starlight.
It was obvious that the compa.s.s was not simply guiding them. Gongxi Kuangdao and the others were using the compa.s.s to look for something. Curious, Ling Chuxi and Huangfu Qingjue followed from behind quietly.
